Merry Christmas everyone!

We thought we would cook up a little WPF storm for the season. Please do let us know what you think as its pretty much a POC (thats a TLA for proof of concept by the way!).

Personally speaking; I love the network visualizer control. I think it gives you a cluster view of any particular domain you wish you glance at by virtue of the fact that the lines between similar items are shorter. The visualization would be even more compelling if we added additional features i.e. more metadata from more providers and even pro-active searching of the knowledge networks at play (more on this later).

We really wanted to make this a connected XBAP app but due to the lack of an AllowPartiallyTrustedCallers attribute on System.ServiceModel.dll assembly it wasnt possible using WCF. We have set up a proxy server on one of our data centres with caching capability although we may want to revise how this works in future releases.

Please check out the Wikipedia Explorer.
